Booooo Inertia Scrolling
In an effort to make the scrolling experiences consistent with iPhones and iPads, Apple added inertia scrolling throughout OS X’s interface elements. You know, the rubber-banding feedback to indicate you’re at the edge of a page or list. While I welcome this in most places, I loathe this feature in the browser. Taking a cue form Safari in Lion, and in the spirit of unifying the...

This is absolutely unbelievable—it’s a complete breach of contract for anyone grandfathered into the unlimited plan.  Throttling after just 2GB??

With the recent Facebook app refresh, and the release of Google’s new iOS Gmail App, it’s very reaffirming to hear developers are going in the direction of HTML-powered apps verses remaining truly native. Luckily this is the path we decided to take when coding out tapviva in early 2011. As a two-person development team, it was the most logical choice in terms of quickly iterating...

One feature of Chrome I’ve taken for granted during the past few years is the fact that I’m silently bumped to the latest version without any dialogues or update warnings. There’s no intervention needed. This should be the norm—and more so for the less tech-aware crowd. I’m glad Microsoft is finally taking steps to keep its (idiot) userbase up-to-date with IE...

Today I Learned

Can't Win!
In 2006 I made a video for my Australia study abroad program. The final cut took a day and a half of continuous rendering on a 800Mhz G4 with 1.5 GB of RAM. And the video produced was only at VGA res. Wimpy, I know.
Here we are in 2011 and I'm on a three year old dual core 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro with 4GB of memory. I cannot even play back three layers of fully-rendered 1080p content in FCP without a decent number of frames being dropped.
Takeaway: If I don't buy a new computer every year or two, I'm immediately left behind in the world of Steve Jobs.
